I am trying to decide how much frosting it will take for two dozen cupcakes using a Wilton 1M to make rosettes.  Does anyone know how much frosting ?  Thanks in advance!

I usually make 1 full batch and another half batch which would do them all.

ypierce82-how many cups does one of your batches make?

I've been practicing lately with the goal of figuring out how much my recipes actually make.

I use Swiss Meringue Buttercream using Wilton's recipe. One batch calls for 4 egg whites, 3 sticks of butter, and 1 cup of sugar.

One batch produces approximately 1.5 pounds of frosting, and this can frost 2 dozen cupcakes with a bit to spare. This would be more than enough to do rosettes.

If you're using American Buttercream, I don't know if a similar amount of frosting would weigh the same as the Swiss, so it's hard to say if you would need more or less.
